Is my business at risk of flooding?

Businesses who prepare for flooding can save 20 to 90 per cent of the cost of lost stock and moveable equipment, while advance preparation may reduce your regulatory liability and make it easier to obtain insurance.

Use the Environment Agency's flood map to check the latest flood warnings. Sign up for Floodline Warnings Direct a free service that provides flood warnings direct to you by telephone, mobile, email, SMS text message and fax.
